“For me, making do isn’t just about food; it’s also about making do in life”… Kardea Brown’s Life@GWN

We are proud to honor Chef Kardea Brown at the Girls Write Now Awards, and excited to share with you a must-read interview that is not only inspiring, it’s going to have you thinking about food, cooking, recipes, and the power of community in a whole new light. After premiering her cooking show Delicious Miss Brown on the Food Network in 2019, she’s reached 3.5 million viewers, judged Chopped, and authored her first cookbook The Way Home. Now, she’s coming off the heels of her second cookbook Make Do With What You Have, which will be released by Amistad Books in November.

“Hope, to me, is the audacity that we can do more than just survive…” Carmin Wong’s Life@ GWN

Carmin lives and breathes poetry. Her unwavering commitment to both the art form and her community is truly inspiring. She recognizes the strengths and talents of young people, empowering them to speak, write, and see themselves as active participants in the ongoing literary conversation. Carmin reminds emerging poets that poetry is not only a powerful tool for self-expression but also a catalyst for radical change.
